Enabling encryption for SD card recordings

Updated by Bob Medlin

You can encrypt the recordings on your SD card. Each recording file is encrypted separately using a password and an AES algorithm that is supported in FIPS 140-2. The password must be set through your MICHELIN Connected Fleet Cameras Portal and can be 16, 24, or 32 characters in length.

Once enabled, the encryption can then be disabled and re-enabled from the dashcam or from the portal.

Important

Encryption must be set on an empty SD card.

Encryption only works on videos recorded with 720p resolution or below.

  4. In the Edit Device window that pops-up, click SETTINGS.
  5. Scroll down to Recording Encryption.
  6. Toggle the button to turn encryption on or off.
  7. If turning on encryption, set a password.
    The password can be 16, 24, or 32 characters in length.
